Windows 10: how do download windows 11 for my 32-bit laptop

how do download windows 11 for my 32-bit laptop

:)

 

Need to download a 32 bit version of Windows.

Hi, I'm going to try some astrophotography of the moon and planets with a Toucam 470 webcam. It operates in 32 bit mode. I've looked at various ways of using it with my old 64 bit Windows 7 laptop and it has been suggested that I download an earlier version
of say 32 bit Windows 2000. I haven't plugged the webcam into this Windows 10 machine because on the laptop when I downloaded the webcam software from the original manufacturer things didn't look good on the laptop and I had to re-boot to before the software
install. Any suggestions gratefully received.

 

Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
   
2. Note the activation key
   
3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
   
4. Perform a clean install
   
5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2
   

(Of course I'll backup my data first.)

However, I still have some questions:

1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
   
2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
   
3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?
   

Thank you for your assistance.

 

32 bit IE needed for Win10 laptop

Hi Steve,

In previous versions of 64-bit Windows there were two versions of Internet Explorer that came with it. One was the regular 32-bit version as well as a native 64-bit version.

Not completely sure if Windows 10 64-bit version has two versions of Internet Explorer 11. However, we can try to enable the 32-bit Internet Explore 11 version by unchecking
Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode*.

Here are the steps to enable the 32-bit Internet Explorer version:

• Open Internet Explorer 11 on the desktop.
• Press ALT + X to access tools menu and click
  Internet options.
• On the Internet Options window, click the Advanced tab.
• Scroll down until you see Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode*.
  
  
  
  
  
• Uncheck Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode*.
• Click OK and restart Internet Explorer 11.
